Two WTBA Associate member companies are combining forces to provide an even better experience for clients.

M3 Insurance announced late last month it acquired Babcock Solutions.  Brad and Kim Babcock formed the company in 2012 and have provided surety bonds to many WTBA members.

Babcock solutions will integrate into the M3 brand over the coming months.

“Welcoming Babcock Solutions to M3 is pivotal for our surety practice,” M3 CEO Mike Victorson said.  “Their legacy of trusted relationships and expertise aligns with our promise to deliver unmatched value to clients. Together, we’re not just expanding services, we’re raising the bar for what’s possible for our clients.”

Joining M3 will allow staff to continue building “trusted relationships” and expand its reach across Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and the Upper Peninsula, Babcock says.

Babcock and M3’s Director of Surety Travis Schreiber are both heavily involved in the WTBA, serving on the Associate Council and attending many association events.
